There was a trade on both sides of the LoC and a bus service operating between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad, but this was also suspended indefinitely in 2019.

In August 2019, the Indian government revoked the special constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir and also abolished its statehood, and divided it into two centrally administered parts.

Relations between the two countries have been strained ever since this unilateral decision, and if India takes the initiative to open a corridor for pilgrims in Pakistan-administered Kashmir, it would be the first major step towards restoring connectivity between the two.

The ancient Sharda Temple or ancient center of Hindu learning 'Sharda Peth' is located across the LoC in the Neelum Valley of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Kashmiri Pandits are demanding that the same way Kartarpur Corridor was opened for Sikhs in Punjab, there is a need to establish a corridor here too.

Accordingly, India has also constructed a new Sharda temple on this side of the LoC.
